Well, it’s official. AJ Styles is the new WWE World Champion. During the tapings for tonight’s SmackDown Live in Manchester, Styles defeated Jinder Mahal to become the new WWE Champion (and I must say, even though I am not a fan of Jinder’s match, that other than some scary spots, this was easily Mahal’s best WWE match to date). And, yep, this means that Styles is headed to Survivor Series to face Brock Lesnar…at least for now.

As we reported last week when this match was announced, there was speculation that the hype for Brock Lesnar vs Jinder Mahal was not good for this month’s Survivor Series. People were not excited about the match, and WWE may have been feeling that they needed someone else in that spot with Lesnar to sell the “main event” of this month’s brand vs brand PPV.

So, now, unless something happens, something squirrelly, some kind of WWE-swerve, AJ is headed to Survivor Series next Sunday to square off with WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar. This is definitely a better match than Lesnar and Mahal would have been, and fans are bound to be more interested in AJ facing Lesnar. Unfortunately, this puts WWE in the position of having to choose which of their top champions wins.

Brock can deal with a loss since he only shows up once in a while, but unless they are planning to take the title off AJ Styles before the India tour in December to put it back on Mahal, he really doesn’t need to eat a loss so soon after winning the title.
